Well,
I believe there are quite a few who are looking for high quality ethnic libraries. I'll let you in on my recent treasure find. It's in AKAI universal format, but this one is an absolute gem.
Yesterday I recieved World Traveler in the mail and I finally got a chance to check it out today.
The quality of this ethnic library is exquisite. If anyone is looking for authentic ethnic percussion, guitars and flutes then this library is seriously worth looking into. And it's a steal at $159 over at esoundz. I've been lucky enough to have the opportunity to test out a couple of other decent ethnic libraries (Ethno World 2 and Rare Instruments) and World Traveler is clearly the best value for money, there is a nice variety of instruments to choose from and they are all sampled with impeccable quality.
If you are considering a decent ethnic library but can't justify the exorbitant prices of other libraries then World Traveler is your best bet - prepare to be blown away by the quality of the sampling. Rich, clear, expressive and outright decadent. In a short sentence - it's the best $159 I've ever spent.
If you are searching for a high quality ethnic library then World Traveler is something to look into. I am going to whip up some nice tunes with this library and I'll put up some MP3s for you to download soon. I'm only too glad I got it. Prepare to be blown away by this gem, nothing else can touch it for the price. It's worth every cent.
World Traveler - prepare to be blown away!

Thanks for the review.
I have been thinking about this sample library for awhile but I have not heard much about it one way or the other. Your review is making me seriously look at World Traveler for adding ethnic sounds to my work (I already have Rare Instruments but that contains only a small number of well-recorded instruments).
I am curious - how is the quality of the Spanish nylon guitar? I am trying to add this particular sound to my collection.
Cheers,
Rabban

I found the quality of the spanish nylon guitar in World Traveler to be of the same quality as the spanish guitar in Plugsound "Fretted Instruments".
One word can describe the quality of the samples in this library - impeccable.
Considering it was produced by Dave Kerzner, and he has a real talent for producing awesome instrument multisamples, this is one library that should be in every producer's studio. It is a key buy. Also check out the Sonic Capsule series, they are supposedly mindblowing in terms of quality and expressiveness. I haven't heard them myself but my friend absolutely swears by them. Also, there is Sonic Station which is supposed to be a really nice workstation sample bank and it can be loaded into several samplers, including SampleTank 2. It's also going cheap at $179.
