I gave a look-through of the Violin 2 samples. It seems that the noise is just bow noise and not actual background noise. This is the result of recording at a medium/close distance (rather than farther out as one might be used to with orchestral samples in a concert hall), and the same sort of thing is audible in VSCO 2. It can be removed, but it is quite characteristic to a violin mic'd at this distance.
I did notice a little bit of broad spectrum noise in the pizzicato samples and after a few of the releases (sounded a bit like someone fed it through a denoiser at some point and it left some "undigested crumbs"), a little pitchy stuff in the upper register overall (just pass it through a tuner and it'll be alright), and one of the tremolo samples sounded like it might have had a car in the background, but other than that, these are some fantastic samples for sure- very consistent. If you want, I can see if I can go through this early next week; I have a big project this weekend.
