Using DWG synthesis. Note how this synthesis technique is able to capture variations of timbre due to nuance, even though the model is very simple.

// A very simplified "clarinet" physical model,
// consisting in:
// delay line, lowpass filter,
// first-order allpass interpolation as proposed here
// https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/pasp/First_Order_Allpass_Interpolation.html#sec:apinterp
// and finally a nonlinear "logistic map" function from which the resonance emerges.
// Similar to what is proposed in
// https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/swgt/Wind_Instruments.html
// but even simpler.
