Are the low F harps easy/fun to play? What kind of songs sound good in low F? Can they be played in second position? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

i have a low F that i use in certain songs where the high F is just 
irritating.
i play it in second or third, depending.  i love the sound of it for 
deep, full
chords.  and if you're learning, it's a great way to refine your bending
technique on the low notes.
