This paper deals with sound production in brass instruments. Our main interest here is the excitation system, i.e. the interaction between lips and instrument. The two one-dimensional models traditionally employed to describe the physics of the lips, known as outward-striking and upward-striking, have been showed [8] to be unsuitable to fully explain the behavior of the lips. Starting from anatomical considerations, we developed a two-dimensional model containing both the one-dimensional configurations and whose properties are accurate enough to represent the observed duality.
