I recently purchased a chin pillow (commonly called a chin chum) for a violin. Problem is I cannot figure out how to attach it to the chin rest. All it is made of is thin foam covered with a felt material in the shape of a large tear drop. At the bottom is an elastic band, which I thought was supposed to some how wrap around the base of the violin. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to stay secure. Anyone know how this thing works?

The two metal rods that run along the chin piece horizontally can be screwed or unscrewed by using a small metal tool that fits in the holes in the rods. A bent paperclip can also work, but the tool is better.

That would be extremely difficult to accomplish since the chin supports, or holds, the violin. If positioned correctly, ones arm can be removed from the violin and the sole support of the instrument is from the chin.
