List, I'm getting ready to build the ramp described in the "Rebuilding" section of the PTJ reprints--3/4 inch birch plywood, 8 feet long, reinforced on the sides for rigidity, etc. My question: Would I be compromising the design to build it 7 or 8 inches wider than the 21 1/2 inches specified in the article? Would I lose strength, since the center of the ramp would be farther from the side reinforcements? Some time ago I picked up a set of "roll-or-kari" trucks, but they were the wider ones, designed for the Hammond B3, and they have a width of 28 inches. I would like the ramp to be able to accommodate this configuration, as well as the 18" wide flat dolly I use for for smaller pianos. Comments?
