Mariana and I designed a double embouchured flute, to play with our daughter, Violeta. Notice that the flute has an embouchure at both ends, so blowing from one stimulates the blowing of the baby.
It also has two toneholes to alter the tone.

Hey Angel,
Glad to see you are still alive and kicking.
It was great for me and Sarah to see Violeta. She's now a little girl! Not a baby.
Great idea, two embouchures. Have you ever seen it anywhere else? I have a cousin in BsAs who works in music therapy for "discapacitados" who may be interested in it. It would be great for Autistic patients too.

Hi Angel, Is it also playable by one person, or do you need two pairs of lips to make it play?
I'm looking forward to seeing a double embouchered bamboo sax!
