That is not a pedal note! With an ordinary 4 valved tuba it can be obtained by a massive slide pulling. On a compensating 4 valved tuba you can get it with 1234 and it will be about 30 cents sharp unless you pull a slide. However, it is easy on the Eb and CC tubas which use 23 or 2. Then it is really a pedal tone with all the quality of a pedal tone.
On my Gronitz double tuba it is fingered switch valve and 5.
