I sure wouldn't try to model a trombone in math.  But I might try to model
it as electronic equivalents to acoustic impedances.  That way I could use
PSpice.  One big problem , though, would be that Ive have to be able to
take an output file and turn it into something I could listen to.

I also have no idea how Id model anything like a Bessel function, in
PSpice.
