The Flamer's Fiddle

Great taunt, one flaw
The taunt is well executed, timings are almost always right and it sounds beautiful, but I have the feeling this taunt doesn't suit the pyro.
Which class can already play the violin and is a caring person to the other members? Yeah.
So I would like to vote yes, only if this goes to the medic instead.

Medic helped get one of his teammates killed just so he could see if he could bring them back to life. Plus it is suggested that Medic surgically removed his teammates souls. Medic considers healing a side effect of his curiosity. So I wouldn't exactly call Medic the carrying type.

I agree. This doesn't really fit with the Pyro. I think this suites best for the Medic or something. I rather see this for a SFM fan video then this being in the game.

The whole thing is a reference to fiddling while Rome (Or the world) burns, referring to Emporer Nero of Rome.
It's a common phrase (X just wants to fiddle while (the world) burns) and so I'm rather surprised at how many people just don't get it.

Edit: If anything Pyro is the only class for whom a fiddling taunt makes sense. For the others it would just be something random and completely non-symbolic.

Yes of course I get the reference, but simply the name of the taunt has nothing to do with whether it suits a character in game.

Something worth mentioning is that Pyro isn't just an insane pyromaniac. Pyro has been shown on several occasions to be quiet intelegent, so I don't think Pyro playing a fiddle is out Pyro's realm of abilities.

pyro does what pyro wants
I think that this taunts suit better for spy. And Pyro like rock music, so why dont somebody create electric guitar taunt?

Yep, this would totally fit Med.
or medic. he know how to play violin cuz he have stock taunt for bonesaw

I wonder if it could be a multi-class taunt. Spy, Medic, and Pyro, given the response of the comments.

Or a different name and description to go with the whole Rome burning thing.

Maybe calling it the Firewood Fiddle.
