The Scorcher's Solo is a community-created special taunt for the Pyro.
When the player activates it through the taunts menu, a small toy piano appears in front of the Pyro, who sits on the ground and tries to poorly plunk out one of two tunes. After a while, the Pyro stops and stands back up while the toy piano disappears into the ground.
The Scorcher's Solo was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Update history
December 3, 2020 Patch (Smissmas 2020)
- The Scorcher's Solo was added to the game.
Bugs
- Frequently, the piano key sounds and the animation will go out of sync.
- The taunt's animation is not a perfect loop, so another animation will start abruptly at the end of the first animation.
Trivia
- The songs the Pyro tries to play are Dreams of Cruelty, from Meet the Pyro, and the Team Fortress 2 Main Theme song.
- This taunt recalls Schroeder from the comic strip Peanuts, a kid known for being a musical savant on his own toy piano, at one time associated with Christmas because of the character's first animated appearance in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
