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 recently found my way to Ruggero Piano in Raleigh, North Carolina, in order to purchase a Clavinova for my church choir room. It was my first visit to their shop which was very convenient and easy to get to from I-540. I was warmly greeted, and found everyone there to be welcoming, very friendly, knowledgable and professional. Making my purchase was very easy, and there was a seemingly complete selection from which to choose. Their delivery/installation team was prompt, polite and professional.As a Juilliard-trained pianist, I was also quite interested in their stock of 'real' pianos, and Mr. Ruggero was kind enough to give me a tour of their facility which includes several showrooms, a workshop, and "Bösendorfer Hall," a room containing a large concert piano available to area pianists, teachers and students for recitals and recording. Ruggero PIano impressed me as far more than just a place to buy a piano; it struck me as a company and people dedicated to the art of the piano. I would give Ruggero PIano the highest recommendation without hesitation. - Thomas Brown
