For that low B, play in the "false tone partial", as I would call it (earlier called "privileged notes"), and finger it 2-3. This is, of course, assuming that the BBb plays an open-fingered low Eb very nicely.
It's not just a parlor trick. Make it solid, and it can even seem louder than the same note played with all the buttons.
