Ruggero piano long has a reputation as the leading and most respected piano store in the region. My biggest problem purchasing an instrument there was deciding among the many excellent options. The store carries not only new instruments but high quality (like new) refurbished pianos. I probably require less assistance in a piano store than many customers so I appreciated the space to browse and play but there was an employee nearby with ready answers to my specific questions. The entire process was low stress and incredibly efficient. Rare to make a purchase of this size and have nothing but positive feelings when it was all complete.

We recently used Ruggero Piano's rental services for our intimate dinner reception wedding at a local restaurant. Their team was so helpful throughout the process of selecting which instrument met our needs and determining what would create the best experience for our guests. Their delivery team was extremely responsive and prompt - which helped keep our fast-paced timeline on schedule.
Our pianist loved playing on such a beautiful instrument and our guests raved about how perfect the evening was. The piano also served as the perfect backdrop for photos throughout the night!

I am very pleased with my piano from Ruggero! I was able to find exactly the piano I was looking for (a Yamaha with silent option), and appreciated Zach's assistance in helping me to choose the best one for my family, within our price range. There was no pressure while I was there, and they were able to deliver my piano fairly quickly. We will enjoy our Yamaha for many years to come! Thank you Ruggero for bringing music into our home.

It was with some nervousness that I started searching for a piano for our home, and in my research I was pointed to Ruggero Piano by more than one person. When I finally made a visit to their store, I found out why. Richard Ruggero spent lots of time with me, answering all my questions, discussing options & even showing us the work they do in their shop.
I didn't feel any pressure from him at all, but left my first visit with so much more knowledge than when I walked in the door and close to a purchasing decision. A week later we decided to invest in an Estonia he had on consignment & were equally pleased with the service we received as we made the purchase & received the piano for delivery. Now I know personally why Ruggero Piano came so highly recommended to me. A huge thank you to Richard Ruggero, Chris Ruggero, Ashley, Zach & all the other staff who helped us out. We are thrilled with our new (used) piano!

The purchase of a piano can be a once in a lifetime endeavor and one that can be scary and exciting all at the same time. From the moment I walked into Ruggero Piano the friendly smile and warm welcome began to ease my anxiousness. Both Richard and Chris sought out workable solutions for my studio and even made several trips to the studio to assure that we settled on the right piano.
I was given a life size paper blue print of the actual piano so that as I was considering the piano I could begin to see it in my space. The personal one on one service provided at Ruggero is hands down EXCELLENT! The purchase of my Yamaha silent piano has been life changing and I owe this process to Ruggero! If you are looking to take a big step as I did in owning a beautiful, fantastically crafted piano from a family who is equally as fantastically crafted then Ruggero Piano is your answer. -Cinnamon Ruth Leggett, Worship Leader, Raleigh NC and Founder of CRL Studios

I had the pleasure of visiting Ruggero Piano yesterday. I wasn't in the market for a piano, but I love visiting music stores and so I wanted to stop and see what they had. I was warmly greeted and given a tour of the showroom, repair shop, and recital hall. They have some of the most magnificent pianos I've ever seen in my life. They even invited me to play on a gorgeous Yamaha grand piano with the lid propped open in the recital hall.
Even though I felt nervous and my fingers were trembling, the richness of sound made it an absolute thrill to play, even for a few minutes. Some of the pianos were so valuable I didn't even want to touch them! But they have a wide variety available for a range of budgets. When I'm finally ready to purchase an acoustic piano, I definitely know where to find one.
