This list comes from Bill Lantz's Frank Zappa and The Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Orchestra page and Charles Ulrich's research (last updated: July 29, 2009). Instead of repeating the big list anytime the orchestra appears anywhere on the site, I've decided to put them all together here and provide a link to this page.

Special Thanks to Charles Ulrich and Bill Lantz for their helpful research of the Royce Hall engagement.
I found this blurred list of musicians that appear as full orchestra on "Bogus Pomp" and "Lumpy Gravy".
Btw: The original information said that the above list was signed by 20 of 36 musicians.
