El-Goya / Goya |
In 1952 initial contacts were being made |
between the Hershman Musical Instrument Co. |
of New York and Levin regarding marketing |
Levin made instruments under a different |
brand name in the U.S.A. |
Instead of using already existing Levin models, |
it appears that Levin designed completely new |
models for Hershman, and only some of these |
models would later appear in Levin catalogs |
as Levin versions, often with some minor |
changed details. |
El-Goya |
Before settling on the Goya name in 1954, a |
line of instruments named El-Goya were made. |
