There is certainly a difference between the result available with 56 Rue and V.12. But I don't know that you can chalk the difference up primarily to the way the bark is cut. Maybe. But there are differences in the tip, the side taper and even the average (they're both inconsistent) thickness that might have more to do with any differences in the sound you get with each.

Brad in one of his YouTube videos suggests straightening the bark at the end of the vamp to reduce stridency. I assume that's equivalent to saying it reduces "brightness."
