Can you slightly enlarge the hammer butt flange hole to shift the hammer

Yes.  There are some old Chickerings that are impossible to keep a strip
mute in.  Is it the 67BB?  Anyway, if you're using an ETD, just tune unisons
as you go.  If you're tuning aurally ... well, it's a good time to practice
tuning the unisons as you go.  :-)
