I once did an experiment and bought some gouged and shaped cane from Ke Xun. They offered two types of gouges, thinner or thicker sides. The result is with thinner sides the reeds were more closed. Recently, i have been having the same kind of result as you, so although with thinner sides, and 11.0 diameter cane, i would get reeds that pump up quite a lot occasionally. I believe this has a lot to do with the tie, where some shapes when tied without an overlap does tend to open up a bit more.

p.s. i also think that perhaps with more precise pre gouging equipment and cane selection tools, Jordanov is able to get far more consistency with his gouging bed and cane combination. Although i use a precise caliper with diameter gauges to select cane that fit my 11.0 bed every single time, the results would still be inconsistent, and this can either sometimes be a result of cane warping, or simply...a non electronic gauge, one unlike udo heng's design (check reeds and stuff website), simply does not deliver as consistent a result...
