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.
depending on the piece, it could be a violing movememt or a Violin Concerto. Both could be concidered pieces by violin.
The wood used to make a violin would vary from the tie period it was made and the location it was made in. The most common type of wood for the "front part" is spruce.

To get the size you need, just put the chin rest of a violin under your chin as you would if you were about to play. Then stretch out the arm you use to hold the violin straight out. If the violin's scroll reaches your wrist, it's the size for you.

You hold a cello between your knees, whereas you hold a viola/violin between your chin and shoulder.
Parts of a violin include: the scroll, the bridge, the finger board, the fine tune, the strings ( For violin E A D G) and i am sure the chin rest counts.
Nothing, but put it back on.
