1890's Everett upright

I'm sure you probably would have noticed this, but the last time I saw hammers in the bass section all aligned so that they were missing the right string (or some such) it was because the bass top bridge was split badly, allowing the top bearing pins to migrate toward the treble, along with the bass strings.  The fix there in that case is to replace the bass top bridge.

    Questions:  Is there a fix for the hammers other than filing the hammers and
    replacing the shanks?

  Can you slightly enlarge the hammer butt flange hole to shift the hammer over a bit more?
