To all our valued members and guests...
Today is March 3, 2021.
Spring is coming (no really, it is).
Some of you already know this, but for those who don't.
My name is Frank Baxter, I am the founder and host of Piano World & PianoSupplies.com.
I'm a piano player, piano tuner, and composer.
I live in the historic district of beautiful downtown Cornish Maine.
Cornish is home to several wonderful antique shops, artists, and great restaurants.
My first professionally recorded original piece is now available via BandCamp

The gift shop is located on the first floor of my home.
The house was built in 1850 and contains 9 bedrooms. I plan to open it as a BNB as well, hopefully this summer, depending on how well we do beating back the Covid virus.
My music room contains my beloved Estonia L-190 grand piano which I love to play for anyone who will listen.
And of course you are welcome to try my piano as well (as long as your hands are clean).
So if you find yourself visiting southwest Maine, please come for a visit!
