No, it's pronounced the same way, just the pitch changes from the 4 difference sounds in the Chinese language.






There isn't much of an English equivolent to describe these sounds.
But Lang Lang are two different sounds just spelled the same way in English.

The link doesn't work anymore.  I looked before but I didn't see anything wrong with the keyboard.  Although, now that you mention it, I think I know what you are getting at and the comment of difficult to play scales.  I'm assuming there are more or less sharp keys?

The link works for me.  The Black keys are groups of three ... and one.
