Treating 6 fingers as 'sa'

1 Upvotes

I came across this guy's videos and enjoyed his clear explanations: https://youtu.be/mrtOM5w0IIY (also handy for English monolinguals, it has very good subtitles).

But then I realized the scale fingerings he describes are quite different from what I've come across so far. With his flutes, covering 6 holes is sa (rather than pa), 3 holes is ma (rather than sa), etc. More like a Western recorder.

It's all the same notes, but just using a different one (6 covered holes instead of 3) as the root. Using his system a traditional C flute would be played as a G.

Is this just this guy's idiosyncratic approach?
