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.
