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

A White-Glove Experience at Ruggero Piano. Purchasing my Yamaha Clavinova CLP-885 from Ruggero Piano was an exceptional experience. From the time I entered their Raleigh showroom, I was met with warmth and professionalism. The opportunity to explore and play various instruments, coupled with the staff’s patience and expertise, made the selection process enjoyable and informative. Chris Ruggero and his team provided thoughtful guidance without any pressure, ensuring I found the perfect piano to meet my needs. The delivery was great, but it was the in-store experience that truly stood out. Being able to interact with the instruments firsthand and receive personalized assistance made all the difference. I highly recommend Ruggero Piano to anyone seeking not just a high-quality instrument but also a top shelf customer service experience. Their dedication to excellence and genuine care for customers is evident. - Bryan Fricke
