I share the opinions that many of you have expressed: volume and velocity of air, not too hard a reed, and enough mouthpiece in the mouth. But I disagree with one item.
When I hear music from too far away, I hear the LOW notes: basses, bass drum, etc. Unless there is something to focus the treble sounds, that's what you will hear. But if you're close enough to hear at a reasonable volume, the high frequencies will be heard even if they are not as loud as the low. That's why piccolos and oboes get heard.
In my mind "projection" is playing loud with the control associated with playing soft There's no mystical sound quality involved. And it's accomplished by the techniques described by the others who have posted to this message.
