bearing in mind that Peter's current synth setups rely on Kurzweil PC3K / K2600SX, Yamaha CP-80. etc it depends on what sound you refer to.

There are no real specific keyboard parts in Solsbury Hill other than general backing chords. Piano chords layered with a soft string or pad sound is all that's needed. Probably the best thing to do would be to play the flute riff as well, and a sampled flute sound would be perfect. The Nord sample library should provide a suitable flute, try the flutes in the Wind/Brass download. The Chamberlin/Mellotron flutes might not work as they speak quite slowly and don't really have the right vibe for this song, but they might be worth a shot.
