I am a jazz pianist, but have had requests to turn out some strong, authentic bluegrass. What patches do you recommend for mandolin, banjo, and country fiddle? Are there better ones available anywhere? jazzyjim
A decent banjo can be found in Korg's workstations (even in M1). My fiddle-like patch is uploaded here, maybe you'll find it useful too. Hope someone else will help you withh mandolin 
Not only bears live in Siberia, but some PC3 users too

Kore 64 has some great mandolin & Banjo
I did a basic banjo by using the GM program 4201 and adding effects chain 436.
Have you tried 973 for fiddle?
