Here is a page maintained by Jon Griffin with free samples. In this case the samples are in .gig format used by the defunct Gigasampler.
http://jongriffin.com/free-giga-samples/

It specifies that they are free and Free and the requirement is to credit the author of the gig file, so I guess that there is no problem in using those.
Now, the .gig files need to be converted into 16bit WAV files. I am struggling to find a linux program to do this. If somebody knows of one, please let me know.

Apparently this shareware program (for Windwos) can do the conversion:

I use Extreme Sampler Converter for conversion between different kind of patches. It works very good. But only for Windows unfortunately.

@Mr. G what's the name of that song? Isn't it one composed by Rush? Seems like a very cool recognizable riff to show off the sound

Sounds like "more than a feeling" by Boston from 1975, Gustavo. Great song and great album withnlotsa great Hammond playing by Tom Scholz, a must listen!

Definitely Right!! I guess I was confused there by a moment. I used to play this song (doing chorus voices) at the same time I was prepping up for a Moving Pictures cover, so I guess that's my confusion I played those songs at the same timespan.

Yes that is right, but I have no idea if it is in the right key. I think it is a very good sample.
