Claire, hi, me again ..

Take a look at Atherholt's Mindbytes video clip on youtube:
http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=lTzKTejstNg

About 1 minute into the 3 minute clip is where he starts scraping. watch his first scrape very carefully, and notice that he uses a combination of wrist action and pushing the blade with his thumb. His first stroke goes from the lowest point of the back all the way to the tip - this is NOT just a wrist action! He pushes forward with his thumb at the same time.

There are other reedmaking videos on youtube where you can see other reedmakers do the same. I tend to agree with your teacher, that it is easiest to learn to master both of these techniques separately before using them in combination. If you can, get a copy of Evelyn Rothwell's "Guide to Oboe Reed Making", which has good explanations and illustrations of this method of scraping.

J.
