Who records their own samples?

[MaestroX]

I've messed about with recording my own samples a couple of years ago using the age old technology of soundfonts. The results wern't bad, but i didn't really intend to use them. Has anyone else managed to produce any samples that have been useful?

I have recorded some samples of a zither and used a sampler to make it into a soundfont, the result wern't bad for a home recording but better results can be had my adding some synthetic reverb effects.

i have sampled ...and used several Celtic pipes recently. it is tedious to scale them authentically... as they are not tempered...grrr...however a marvelous effect.

I've only sampled "special effects" or percussive elements more conducive to either sound design or non-traditional / synthetic percussion kinds of things. Haven't really had the opportunity or need to sample pitched, sustaining instruments.

I've made several samples in the past but never really did anything with them
