Strategies
Try to kill as many Cowboy Zombies before they swap lanes on screen. Otherwise, you will have a hard time if the other zombies shift to eat your plants you have placed (Lightning Reed, Pea Pod, etc.). A Pea Pod with five heads will quickly kill it. However, Wall-nuts and Tall-nuts do not stop it, it crushes your plants. You can delay a Pianist Zombie with an Iceberg Lettuce to let the zombies stop dancing. A good choice to deal with it is to use any instant kill or the Coconut Cannon which can easily defeat it. Do not use Cabbage-pults and Kernel-pults. If you don't kill the Pianist Zombie, the catapults will have a hard time shooting at the zombie as the other Cowboy Zombies continue shifting because of their low fire rate.

Trivia

 * It is weird that the projectiles only hit the piano, but the zombie still loses its arm and head.
 * Whenever at least one of these zombies are alive and onscreen, its piano song will replace the stage's current music.
 * When the Pianist Zombie is slowed by either the Snow Pea or the Winter Melon, its hands slow down but not the music it's playing.
 * If it meets a Tall-nut or a Wall-nut it will take a little longer to kill them. This trait is shared with Barrel Roller Zombie.
 * As shown in Piñata Party, Pianist Zombie only causes zombies from the Wild West to dance. No other zombies from other time periods will dance and change lanes.
 * During one of its degrades, you can see the tip jar slide off the piano.
