If a BBb tuba is used, and you don't have a REALLY long tuning slide that's normally pulled most of the way out, the desired note is not sounded as a 1st partial pedal; i.e. like the BBb pedal a semitone lower. With slide pulling and/or extra valves, it can be sounded as a second partial, however. It can be played as a privleged tone, or as a 1st partial pedal on a CC, Eb or F tuba.
