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

This is quite obviously the best piano store in the region. I spent a long time shopping for my used piano, and that included a number of stores, used options from online listings, etc. And every time I came to Ruggero, I was on better quality pianos at the same prices as lower quality ones elsewhere. They have all these piano techs on site, doing deep master work on any pianos that need it. And they'll talk to you about all the details--great for me as I'm a stickler for every last bit of quality (especially in playability and action) and want to know the ins and outs. I ended up buying both a great digital (Yamaha P-525) for nighttime and my first baby grand (a Yamaha GB1K from 2019). I love it, and it's in such fantastic technical shape from Ruggero techs. I also asked an independent local piano tech his opinion of Ruggero and others, and he told me I could totally trust any and all of their piano techs' work, as they stand behind their used pianos. I even had an issue in my own life where I suddenly needed flexibility after I'd purchased but hadn't had it delivered, and they were flexible, helpful and downright encouraging on a personal level! I always felt welcome in the store. I had confidence buying with their trade-in program too, as I believe this piano store will stand the test of time for when I upgrade later, since they're running a service business as well as sales. So, my highest recommendation for the purchases of highest importance that you can make!! Many thanks to Chris, John and the team. - Phil Enock
