I really appreciate their efforts on adding to the free sample
libraries! I visit the samples section of the LinuxMusicians forums
from time to time, to see if there's anything new.

I think the solo violin from that set is too simple, only legato and
with no way of controlling vibrato.

There's also this:

Not a library, but just the samples. There are vibrato and non-vibrato
samples and a few articulations. If I remember right, it's the same
one used in Sonatina (without the reverb), but I think they only used
the vibrato samples (I might be wrong). With skill, patience and
creativity, one probably should be able to get a nice SFZ out of
these. And the good news is that... Jeff G seems to be doing just
that! :D

(the download link seems broken though).

... But, I ended up buying the Embertone violin (held off doing that
for almost one year :P), so now I'll have to find a way to use it.
