The eunuch flute, onion flute, or mirliton, flûte eunuque, flûte à l'oignon, mirliton, Zwiebelflöte, is a musical instrument of the woodwind family used during the 16th and 17th centuries. It produces music akin to a "comb and paper", and is still manufactured as a toy. The eunuch flute's sound highly resembles a "kazoo". The eunuch flute, unlike a kazoo, is held horizontally against the mouth while the user vocalizes into the aperture.
