How do you attach a violin chin piece?
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?
First off, you do not rosin a violin. You rosin a bow. How to rosin a bow: 1. Hold end of bow (frog end) in right hand in firm grip. 2. take rosin in left hand and hold one end. do not touch the other end of the rosin with your hand 3. Put the end of the rosin that you are not touching with your left hand and place in contact with horsehair on tip of bow (not frog end) 4. Gently rub rosin on bow, sliding up and down horsehair. Note: Do NOT let hand rub horsehair, just the rosin!!! 5. now you can play the violin with rosin on the bow! Yea!!!!

It is probable that the violin (and its other cousins the viola and cello) were created during the mid-16th century in Northern Italy. Perhaps being the maker of the first true violins, Andrea Amati (ca. 1500-1577) was the patriarch of the Cremona school of violin making. Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737) and Bartolomeo Giuseppe Guarneri (1698-1744), brought the violin to its highest level both as a musical instrument and as a work of art.

The violin I am using now was $2,000 when I bought it five years ago and was bought to get me through high school. The cheapest violin I've ever bought was $100.
