Carolina Ballet Benefit Piano Sale Event – May 14th – 17th, 2026 @ Ruggero Piano
May 14 @ 9:30 am – May 17 @ 5:30 pm

Dear Carolina Ballet Friends and Neighbors,

For the past decade, Carolina Ballet has had the privilege of performing with world-class pianos, thanks to our exclusive piano provider, Ruggero Piano. Each year, these instruments — along with Ruggero Piano’s entire inventory of new and pre-owned pianos — are made available to the public at preferred institutional pricing to support the Ballet.

This year’s benefit sale includes a large selection of pianos, including grands, baby grands, concert grands, uprights, hybrids, digitals, and player pianos from leading brands such as Yamaha, Bösendorfer, Schimmel, Estonia, Clavinova, Steinway, Kawai, and more. Every piano includes free standard local delivery, tuning and technical services by Ruggero Piano, plus four tickets to a Carolina Ballet performance of your choice. Special financing will be available including 0% APR for up to 24 Months. Appointments are available Thursday through Sunday, May 14-17, at Ruggero Piano: 4720-120 Hargrove Road. Raleigh, NC 27616.

We also invite you to join us for upcoming performances of Celebration of America (April 23–26) and Beauty and the Beast (May 14–17).  Both performances will be accompanied by live music. Visit carolinaballet.com for more information and tickets.

We are grateful for the opportunity to perform with exceptional pianos and hope you’ll take advantage of this unique opportunity. Your purchase will directly support Carolina Ballet and help sustain our commitment to artistic excellence in our community.

Warmly,

Adam Schiffer | Chief Operating Officer

Customer Reviews

I contacted Ruggero Piano upon moving from Florida to the RDU area. My prized Yamaha C-6 had been jostled too much by “certified”(?) piano movers in Florida. I was able to secure a service call in very short order; Richard Ruggero himself even came into the phone call to talk me off the proverbial ledge with worry. (I’m a trained concert pianist who has seen many, many piano moves and had never experienced the carelessness of these movers). Hyun Joon did a superb job getting the piano back in shape. He and I discussed the optimum post-move time for an initial tuning in our new home, and I know who to call! . I look forward to a long relationship with Ruggero Piano and thank the staff and management for their welcoming nature, professionalism, and expertise. - Steve Chicurel-Stein
