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

My experience with Ruggero is that if I could give 6 stars, I absolutely would! Ruggero Piano is simply outstanding—from their beautiful showroom to their top-tier customer service. I purchased a stunning Yamaha piano from them, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Their team handled the delivery with the utmost care. They also have provided tuning services with certified piano technicians, who have given me valuable guidance with the care of my piano. Chris, the owner, is not only incredibly kind and knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about helping customers find the perfect piano. Everyone in the office is equally fantastic, friendly, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. Their communication, whether by phone, email, or in person, is always prompt, thoughtful, and welcoming, making every interaction a pleasure. If you're looking for a high-quality piano and world-class service, Ruggero Piano is the place to go. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and highly recommend them! - Maria Asturias
