U-stander is a portable music stand designed for outdoor musicians. 
Problem
My experience
When I was in university, I was in charge of the transportation of musical instruments, music stands, and scores in the General Affairs Department of the National Taiwan University Symphony Orchestra. Therefore, I can particularly feel the inconvenience of outdoor performers. 
Street artist or large-scale outdoor performances often face problems with music stands. Large music stand is difficult to carry, but portable one can easyily tip over. It disrupts the performance and also frustrates the performer.

The friction between the rubber and the paper makes it difficult for the paper to move. You can turn pages easily with a little effort.
