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

Amazing customer service. There is NO pressure to buy a piano, and the staff not only sell their pianos, they fix and tune them as well. Plus you get a free concert just for shopping there by the sales staff :). They are knowledgeable, friendly, not pushy at all, and really want to you to love your purchase, no matter what your budget. We were shopping with our 7 year old son and I thought it was great how they showed him how to play different things and encouraged him to explore different sounds. This was a fantastic piano shopping experience from start to finish. They don't just sell you a piano, they sell you their name, and they take it seriously and it shows. I highly recommend checking them out first and then seeing what the others offer, as this was an obvious first choice to buy from them after seeing other warehouse piano shops. Their love for music shines through every sale. - Juli Pankow
