Really good and small soundfont, with some of the best orchestral samples on the console.

CWBF's Mantovani Strings
by Colin FoleyUploaded on Apr 21, 2020 (and last updated on Apr 21, 2020)
A small, experimental soundfont. It consists of three samples (heavily cleaned up and edited) from vinyl records of Mantovani. The samples are each of a single violin in isolation, but if you have a few overlapping violin lines, it sounds pretty cool. Kinda like a mellotron.

Extra considerations:
Obviously the Mantovani samples aren't mine, but it's literally less than a second per sample, and only three samples, so I'm very sure this falls under fair use.
