I vote with Doug. Notes from the fundamental pitch of the instrument DOWNWARD. Thus the "pedal register" on an F tuba starts at the F 4 ledger lines below the staff. The pedal register on the CC starts a perfect fourth below that. Instrument-dependent.
That's the definition I would vote for. Now when I'm pedaling my bike, it's a different story . . . .
