Here you'll find a GPL soundfont of a fender rhodes and an hydrogen
drumkit (simply a tar.gz of flacs with a different name):

there's also a big wav with mellotron samples, but it isn't turned into
a soundfont yet (and I don't have the time to do it)

Definitely, It would be very important to have a shared common patch set
(possibly high quality) to ship with the applications and linux
distributions (I'm thinking also to a relatively small GPL GM sf2 to ship
with timidity for example) - in this respect eawpat is a great resource,
but it is rather huge (around 30 megs IIRC) and if I'm right it lacks
some instruments. Obviously the task of creating a free high quality
GM soundfont is challenging and time consuming... but it would be a
great resource for us all. I think the right dimension for a GM
soundfont would be around 8/16 Mb, and is difficult to push 127
instruments into such small size...
Sorry for my english, I think it can be very involved at times:)
