Hi Mark,

I beg to differ. They aren't bass recorder, although I am hearing an 
alto recorder on the bottom, possibly tenor, but DEFINITELY no bass. 
For three of my 23 years of teaching, I had to handle a recorder choir 
and we had a complete set, so I know about these things ;)

The recorders on "Stairway" are also definitely not a tron. They're 
live, probably by John Paul Jones since he seems to be able to play 
just about anything. If you listen closely through headphones, you can 
JUST detect the breathing. All in all, it's a pretty good performance.
