David, My advise is not about voicing. If you have a piano that fits your own concert venue, I think you should leave it alone. For a little more (or the same price) of moving your concert grand, you can get one of the Steinway CD's from the dealer. Less risk all the way around. (I have learned this lesson the hard way!)
