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

Thank you Ruggero Piano for making my husband's Christmas (2019) wonderful! Worked with Chris to purchase a Clavinova CLP-635 as not only a house-warming gift for our new home but also a Christmas gift for my husband, Cody. Chris was awesome to work with from the beginning responding to every question in my emails before coming to the store and to all my emails asking for updates after ordering. I brought my husband to the store to get an idea of which piano he wanted to "eventually buy, maybe next year in 2020" and Chris knew (from my emails) this would be a surprise so he rolled with it while showing/explaining every option! After ordering the piano (Dec 2), Chris knew I hoped to have it in our home before Christmas and that the delivery could only happen during certain times so I could make sure my husband wasn't at home. It came in just in time to be delivered on Christmas Eve morning! My husband, Cody, could not believe his eyes when he came home that night!!! He was super excited and thankful!!! - Danielle Grabowski
