Indeed they do, and there is just that much more to look at and love about them. Several years back, the industrial automation world used the acronym, MMI (man-machine-interface). The term, because it contains the word "man" was [is] considered by some to be gender-specific, and was hence outlawed. The politically correct term was changed to, HMI (human-machine-interface). (I contend that the word "human" has the same basic gist, but I suppose the letters "hu" in front of the root word "man" make enough of a difference for those who think only with their eyes.) Maybe the term "full figured upright" could replace the term "fat upright".

The CC-32 is a very masculine looking cabinet and is almost perfect in proportion and scale. Hardly a "fat upright". I suppose it might be considered plain or ugly to those who don't take the time or have the ability to appreciate that and quietly executed detail. BTW...I believe this is one of the cases designed by Elsie deWolf, if anyone has a clue as to who she might be. I wonder what those same people would think of the scale and proportion of a C-1?
