actually, the sounds you're hearing during the second verse aren't horns. it's Jeff's bass. it was a question that was answered on the Synergy Rumor Pit a few years ago.

With the right amp settings and playing technique, those brassy sounds could easily have been approximated on a fretless bass.

I can't remember where off the top of my head but I have heard other bassists get the same sounds from their bass.

Anyway, it was issue 34 of the Rumor Pit:

Q: Who played the horn, and what kind of horn was it on "all those yesterdays"?
A: No horn. That's Jeff on bass.

you're mistaken. as Hebejebe has said, it was confirmed in the rumor pit like 9 years ago.
