Would anyone be interested in a specailized orchesral percussion and mallet soundfont?

I was thinking of making a soundfont specialized for orchestral percussion, and I was going to include some of those presets in my Sonatina project as well, but I wanted to know if there was any interest before I did so.

EDIT:
presets would include (but there would probably be more)

Celeste at two velocity layers sampled in minor 3rds

Marimba at 3 velocity layers sampled in minor 3rds
There would be different mallet types on the marimba
There would be different articulations on the marimba

Vibraphone at 3 velocity layers sampled in minor 3rds
There would be different articulations on the vibraphone

Bells/Glockenspiel at 3 velocity layers sampled in minor 3rds
There would be different mallet types on the glockenspiel

Crotales in 3 velocity layers sampled in minor 3rds

Thai Gong in 3 velocity layers sampled in minor 3rds

Cymbals in 3 velocity layers of various sizes
There will be a variety of techniques on the cymbals including stick, crash, mallet and bow

Tam Tams in 3 velocity layers of various sizes

A variety of hand percussion (claves, triangle etc.)

Bowed Vibraphone at 1 velocity layer sampled in minor 3rds

Bowed Tam Tam

Go for it m8 :)

Although I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that SFZ is the way forward, not SF2.

Now all we need is someone to improve the Zerberus SFZ player :)

Just to get this out of the way now
the file will use University of Iowa's percussion samples, which are public domain.
