T.I.S. Music Shop Says T.T.F.N.

The fat lady is singing her final aria for T.I.S. Music, the beloved online sheet music catalog with a shop in Bloomington, Indiana. Yesterday the company announced in an email to its subscribers that T.I.S. is going out of business. At 4o-plus years old, the company is not exactly a startup, but we felt it important to point out the gaping hole in the market now that they’re gone.

While newspapers and magazines have been hit hard by the advent of the Internet, few printed pages have felt the pinch more than sheet music.
