No need, all of the evidence is out there. All you need to do is to get a reed about half a strength harder than you normally use, which for me is a 2.5, and follow the instructions in the articles.
I have been sanding reeds for many, many years. That was the way it used to be done by the 'Old Timers'. It has never mattered which brand I use, as long as I work them until they played easily from 'A' down to low 'D' (which for me is the critical note), with no change of air pressure or embouchure. I use a very relaxed embouchure, which I find gives me good control over tone/effects and is effortless to play ( I don't subscribe to the 'Must develop a jaw aching, strong embouchure, brigade), Over the last few years I have been using the 'ATG System' which makes the whole process a doddle!
