Seabreeze: on projection, Shirley Brill, who plays both boxwood and grenadilla, gave an interview in which she agreed with what you said. I think, though, that the bore is possibly more important than the material, as in the case of the Buffet bore families. My S&S boxwood projects/voices/cuts through as well as my B&H 1010 in the amateur situations where I play, but from what I've been able to piece together, the S&S French bore is a slightly more radical (and polyconical) version of the R13 bore, which is probably rather different than what people do with historical replicas. Years ago, I played a Buffet Prestige Elite, which had an RC bore, and it didn't project very well at all.
