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 am a local piano teacher, and have both bought instruments from Ruggero and also used their performance space for recitals. I have been so impressed by their professionalism and kindness, and they have always taken great care of me and my piano. Buying from them was a zero pressure experience that actually ended up being fun—they are so willing to work with any size budget, and will search for the right piano for you for as long as it takes. I have LOVED the piano I bought from them, and when it had a couple issues within the first year of buying it they moved it to the shop and back and fixed it at no cost to me whatsoever. I send all my students to Richard and his family, and will be continuing my business with them for as long as I teach and play! - Mary DeBoy, Piano Teacher
