My New Rhodes: Anyone Down for a Free Sampleset?

Ok, I just bought myself a lovely 1973 Rhodes Mark 1 73 in amazing shape. There's no corrosion whatsover inside or outside, and everything works like a charm. In fact, the guys a few different guys at the Guitar Center I picked it up in all said it was probably the best playing Rhodes they've ever played on/come across. The only bad thing about this beast is that a few keys sound a bit quieter than others, but even that just sounds lovely if you ask me.

Now, I'd love to sample it and make a nice large library out of it to make available as freeware, but I have no patience for sample editing whatsoever. Would anyone be willing to take raw wave files and make a sampleset for something like Giga or Kontakt, etc?

I've got a fantastic Grace 101, which is considered to be one of the most transparant pre's around, and would just idealy like to sample the Rhodes directly into the Hi-Z input, this way if people wanted to run it through an amp sim or anything they could.

Now if someone is down, should I sample every key? Every other? How many velocities would you be willing to deal with? Do you also want sustain pedal samples? I don't feel like sampling the release noise, so I think this library (if it ever happens) would just have to do without that. Also what samplerate would you like? Should I start at 88.2 (perhaps even 96) and convert to 44.1, or should I just keep it at 44.1?

If anyone's interested feel free to respond here, PM me, or e-mail me at [my kvr username]@gmail.com. This is really just about me wanting to share, but not having the patience to build a really large library.
I'm sorry this post wasn't about techno.
