Hi,

>ideas

I think you'll want to use a digital waveguide model but I've never tried
this.  The sound is generated by keeping your lips pretty loose and
vibrating them into a tube ~4 cm in diameter and 1 meter long.  You can use
PVC electrical conduit or plastic plumbing pipe or anything else you have
around.  The characteristic sound, somewhat reminiscent of a resonant filter
sweep, is created by puffing out your cheeks and letting them go down again.
I sometimes practice on some pipe I found in the garage.  Actually it may be
easier to build and learn to play one than it is to synthesize it.  You can
find building instructions on the net.
