Why it would occur to you that reed strength would be derived from cut given this prior thought:
“Strength is rated by Vandoren machines that physically test resistance, itself derived from cane density”
at least as it regards Vandoren I do not know, unless you disagree with 2 prior posters.
And if Vandoren, with access to some of the best of France’s cane stock (which they do) experiences density differences, I trust the other reed manufacturer's cane stock, even ones derived from other parts of the world, like that from South America used by companies like Gonzales, as you reference, does as well.
I doubt cane companies would go to the trouble (read: expense) of cutting cane differently to achieve strength diversity when nature already provides such strength variations through density differences, anymore than (as for the same reason: genetics provides diversity) we as people need to dress differently because our faces lack enough distinction on their own to be recognized by others.
Here are 2 sources that support my claims about the V12 name and its derivation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vandoren
http://shop.weinermusic.com/VANDOREN-V12-Bb-CLARINET-REEDS-10-PER-BOX/productinfo/RV1V12/
Here’s a video that I’ve positioned at the appropriate point showing how Vandoren tests its reeds for strength and then assigns them a strength number, not the other way around, the latter fiction suggesting that such tests were part of quality control, rather than strength determination.

Please feel free to supply evidence that other models and brands do things differently.

Bruno, Mr. Deecy, or should I say Dr. Cherubini, I am going to part, just for a second, with my tradition and the spirit/intention of this bboard to debate ideas, not those idea's contributors, if only because evidence would suggest that you first violated the bboards rules by signing up with a pen name, rather than a required real one.
In a prior thread where you took issue with my thoughts, (far, far more sternly than here—the above is “nothing”) but refused to provide evidence, either intentionally or not, you left clues as to who you may actually be:
http://test.woodwind.org/oboe/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=403666&t=403666
“extropia???”
Sounds like something someone in the eye care field might say
http://health.usnews.com/doctors/thomas-cherubini-763536/contact
And when you wrote “guess where there's smoke there's fire” I suppose the fact that a physician authored a book with the pen name Tom Deecy entitled “Up In Smoke” is just pure coincidence right?

http://www.upenn.edu/gazette/0713/notes.html
There’s plenty more evidence: it won’t help to make my points any more noteworthy, and might compromise your privacy beyond that afforded other members. I understand the purpose for pen names when authoring books, as both privacy and marketing strategies, but I don't understand them here.
Please consider changing to your real name on this bboard, as that is part of the rules, or provide evidence that this is all 1 big coincidence.
And these rules notwithstanding, I’m of the belief that when people are responsible enough to post statements on a bboard, having registered with their real name, particular in situations where they disagree but provide no evidence, they may be more inclined in the future to up the mathematical ratio of research/proof, divided by “claims made.”
But again, perhaps you disagree.
Perhaps I will call you Dr. Cherubini, until you refute this here, or for sake of privacy, with the moderator, who then indicates that your credentials are correct.
