Traveling Brass Rail Butts

I don't believe you can travel brass butts. You have to use your electric 
shank bending piers to travel and align the hammers to the strings.

There is a way, but you won't like it.<G> Take the butt out and bend the
center pin in a dog-leg fashion. It is extreme and only for extreme
circumstances. The proper thing to do is remove the hammer/shank and
re-install it so that the hammer is centered on the unison, IMO.
