Projecting

Is projection of a sound inherently the player or the mouthpiece? I ask because I'd been struggling on a mouthpiece that has a beautiful sound but just didn't project, and I've recently switched back to my old Gregory Smith which seems to effortlessly project.

More anecdotal evidence to support this is recent ensemble recordings that proves that the Smith mouthpiece projects and the other one doesn't. However, my teacher was absolutely convinced that it wasn't the mouthpiece, it was me.

What does everyone think?

(I know it's not that black and white, obviously the player and the mouthpiece are a team and together create projection, I just feel one might have more of an influence than the other.)
