What strength reeds are you using, and how long have you been playing?

The opinions I express are my own.

the mouthpiece and strenght of reeds and how long you've been playing all plays a part but I've seen many times people here talking about this or that barrel solves airy throat notes. The respond might be better but the main thing is to know how to control the airflow so you don't get airy notes and that you do by playing with colder air and more focused for the throat notes with a bit embouchure pressure while you use more warmer air and less embouchure pressure for the low notes.

A mouthpiece with an incorrect facing curve (too much or too sudden curvature just before the tip) will sound airy with any strength reed, for a player at any level. I'd suggest you try some other mouthpieces along with the other suggestions above.

I suggest you re-read the replies you got on your other thread "help me learn" about CSO's and mouthpieces.
