Dear Mr. Coffin, Wow! You were fantastic up on stage. You must
be a pro at it.
Thanks for coming. You rock at the recorder.
-- Your Pal, (3rd grader)
I had to let you know that I found
David's website...WOW! What gorgeous
singing!!... and what a beautiful presentation he
makes. I love what he is doing for school programs!
My first thought is that we need to bring him here to
my school.
School Music Teacher, Katonah New York
Your glorious voice and beautiful instruments created an
evening of musical magic that was special for everyone. I
hope there will be many return visits to Mystic Seaport to
grace us with your music, extraordinary instruments, calm
vision, easy-going manner, delightful humor, and gentle
spirit.

Coffin has grown into a commanding presence as singer, musician, and songleader. When turning to lead the crowd, he stepped out of his courtly manner with such ease that the show's spell was never broken. His singing was classical in its pitch and meter yet invitingly modern in its phrasing. He does these things so naturally it is easy to miss how masterful they are.
