Careers at Kawai
Est. 1927
We have been building instruments since 1927. We are looking for people who build things that last.
“Since 1927, Kawai has been part of how the world experiences music. We are building the team that carries that forward.”
Kawai America Corporation has been based in Southern California since 1963. We are a small, experienced team — and that is by design. Every role here has real scope.
Our work spans sales and distribution, artist relations, institutional programs, technical support, and dealer partnerships. Colleagues here often stay for decades. The people who join tend to find reasons to stay.
Kawai builds fewer than 300 Shigeru Kawai concert grands per year, each voiced by hand. That standard for detail carries into every part of how we work.
Kawai has operated in North America since 1963. Our team averages more than 20 years of tenure. That continuity is not an accident.
Our instruments are sold in over 180 countries through 212+ authorized dealers in North America alone. Working here means working at the center of a genuinely global distribution network.
Kawai's North American team works closely with manufacturing in Japan and a production facility in North Carolina. The work here is connected to how the instrument is built, not just how it is sold.
Kawai has been part of how people experience music since 1927 — in concert halls, universities, conservatories, and living rooms across 180 countries. Kawai America is where that presence is built and maintained in North America.
