About
Lois Fyfe Music was founded in 1993 by Lois Gainer Fyfe. In 2009, Elizabeth Smith and Jonathan Setzer became co-owners; both are described as “trained musicians with degrees and experience in organ, choral, vocal, and string music.” The site references the founders Peter Fyfe (1923 to 2016) and Lois Gainer Fyfe (1927 to 2014) in its historical content. The company has continued to operate as a music retailer rather than a performing or recording entity, focused on advising customers and supplying printed music.
