If the recorder is made from maple, pear or boxwood, then I'd be inclined to wrap thread around the tenon slots first to build them up and also to give the tenons added strength, then glue 1mm-1.6mm cork on top of that and shape it as normal.
If it's made from more dense timbers such as rosewood, kingwood, bubinga, grenadilla or ebony and also plastics, then glue some heavy duty rubberised cork into the slots to build them up, then fit a natural cork strip over the top of that. Or you could fill in the tenon slots with superglue and wood dust, then recut them to a shallower depth using a lathe.
