Yamaha CS80

Question:

Is the fat brass solo in the song "Sunset Grill" by Don Henley played 
on a CS80?

I know it couldn't be a Minimoog, as it has a very vocal quality.

Anyone?

I love that song and that synth-brass solo!  Doesn't sound like CS80
to me.  A quick search found this site:
http://www.answers.com/topic/building-the-perfect-beast.  It doesn't
list the keyboards used, but it does list about a dozen session
keyboardists.  It could be anything.  It came out in the mid '80s. 
Sounds like some string/brass machine, like an Opus 3 or and Arp
Quartet.  Of course, I thought John Paul Jones synth brass solo on
"All of My Love" was some cheap brass synth, and then I found out it
was a GX-1 (which brings us back on-topic)!

Ok - I just listened to it again. It does have a 2-pole filter sound,
and Steve Porcaro is one of the keyboardists, so maybe it is a CS80. 
Then I find another link
(http://groups.google.com/group/alt.guitar/browse_frm/thread/ef0f51f8a83f55e6/f427c2c85e717fd5?)
that sounds like the solo is a guitar synth.

Anyone know?

I really love this song too, but feel the solo in question betrays some phrasing more typical of the guitar, and to kind of substantiate this I found something on this website (don't ask me why it's got fleetwood mac in the URL): http://discog.fleetwoodmac.net/songs.php?sid=351

  It would still be fun to learn to play it on a CS.

Ha, so I'm not the only one.  When I first heard it I thought it was a
Crumar Orchestator, it sounded sounded so cheap.

Heh... and I was sure I had it pegged as an ARP Pro Soloist (a la Tony Banks).

Live and learn!
