Do you think you could do a video demonstrating how to remove the old cork or felt before replacing it??

Are there synthetic alternatives for this?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

I do not know of any, but there probably are some. Many people use felt which also works well.

Hi, i have a question. I have a trombone slide that has a spring bumper, the spring is really noisy and i was wondering if i can remove the spring and instal cork bumpers instead?

[@TheBrassandWoodwindShop]

Yes, that is fine. If you decide to go back to springs, you can just switch them back.

Trombone slides use felt, not cork.
