Came across Spitfire Audio Labs - https://www.spitfireaudio.com/labs/ - a collection of free VSTi's that should plug into most DAWs. They are all sampled instruments, such as strings, trumpets, pianos, stringed instruments etc. There are loads and they are very high quality and professionally recorded.
"An infinite series of free software instruments, made by musicians and sampling experts in London, for anyone, anywhere. Presented in our own plug-in, they are easy to use, and compatible with any DAW. And in case you missed it — they're all free."
No catch that I can see (apart from you need to sign-up) -> https://www.spitfireaudio.com/labs/
