Payroll records weren't the only way to figure out how many musicians

As someone who used to play with Joshua regularly in the past, I found
not only his arguments convincing but also the result. I did the B minor
mass with his group, with 8 singers (no choir), 4 violins and everything
else one to a part, and it really works. In fact I much prefer that to
any conventional performance.
