The false pedal note works well on tubas that are mostly conical, such as old Kings and Olds. I have found it to be very hard to play on Bessons and small Yamahas, which are more exponential in shape. You probably should stick with the upper notes on that horn. Even if the false pedal range is playable it still won't sound good.
