How about an Ocarina Trainer? I've seen quite a few ocarinas that use a
"binary progression" fingering similar to a trumpet's, but usually with four
holes spread across two hands. There's also a musical instrument called a
"pipe and tabor." (For you Savoyards in the audience, Phyllis sings about it
in "Iolanthe.") There's a pipe and tabor page at
http://www.mit.edu:8001/people/ijs/pipe-and-tabor.html; the short form is,
it's a three-holed woodwind instrument (the pipe) combined with a drum (the
tabor), usually used to provide a tune and a beat for dancing. You could
have the space bar represent the tabor and the fingers of whichever hand you
prefer on three appropriate keys to simulate the pipe. You would, however,
have to simulate overblowing to get more than a fifth out of the pipe.
