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 purchased a beautiful new Yamaha U1 piano, a true quality instrument, from Ruggero Piano, and I couldn’t be happier with the buying experience. Zach, the sales representative and piano technician, was a true pleasure to work with. His knowledge of pianos was incredible, and he was both professional and hospitable during the process, with no sales pressure, whatsoever. Chris, the general manager, made the business aspect of the purchase very easy and straightforward, and gave very personalized and friendly service. Finally, the delivery of the piano was absolutely flawless. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Ruggero Piano and give them an A+ rating. What a wonderful experience! I love my new Yamaha! - Jo Airey
