Here is a large collection of free SoundFonts.

SoundFonts are files that contain recorded audio samples of various musical instruments, such as a strings, synths, brass, and more. SoundFonts are similar to VSTs, except they are one single instrument sound.

To play a SoundFonts you will need a SoundFont Player. Software like FL Studio already comes with a SoundFont player.

Free SoundFont Players

All of these are for Windows. I have tested all the players and they work. These are VSTs so you will need a VST host.
