Hallo Ypatios!

I only found some soundfonts on the Internet. Does anyone know a way to extract the samples from a soundfont?

hm ... don't know ...

But there is also the fluidsynth external for pd (it's called fluid, by frank barknecht) with that you can play the soundfonts in pd.

And here some free soundfonts:

1. WST25FStein_00Sep22.SF2

...

Free and quite natural-sounding to my ears, from http://www.pianosounds.com/freesoundfont.htm

2. TrachtmanSteinC_XFade2_2001Aug16.sf2

$5 US, by far the most "hi-fi" of the three, but a bit bright for my taste, also it's recorded a bit lower so you'll need to increase the output volume. from http://www.pianosounds.com/

3. NS_Piano.sf2

Free, has pleasant tone, if a bit lacking in the bass and treble; also the stereo image is very narrow, almost mono. the creator describes it as "a natural, woody, mellow sounding piano", from http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/ns_piano.html

(from the linux audio list - there was a quite similar thread in december !)

Hello list, and a happy new year!

I'm working on a little sampler at the time and I need some good (and free) piano samples in wav or aiff format.

The ideal would be samples in minor third intervals with at least 3 different dynamic instances(e.g. pp-mf-ff) for each note.

Has anyone a suggestion???

There are some high quality instrument samples here, including a piano, which I haven't tried, but it probably has at least the dynamics and pitches you want. Seems to be down at the moment, though.
