A friend of mine who is the assistant principle cellist with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra has two cellos. A very pricey one that she uses for concert during the indoor season in Copley Concert Hall. The less expensive one for the out door season. She doesn't want to risk damage to her expensive cello out doors.
So of course I asked her if the difference in price made for a substantial difference in sound quality. Her answer was one that I never saw coming. She did not feel the more expensive cello inherently sounded better. The difference was that for her as a musician it was easier for her to get it to sound it's best. The cheaper cello was simply more difficult to get to sound as good.
So the better cello allows her to focus more on performance and less on the instrument. I don't know how anyone could do scientific studies on that aspect of sound quality. It is a function of the instrument/musician feed back mechanism.
This is not to say that musical instruments do not have differences in sound quality. Clearly they do. But it is complicated by the "playability" of the instrument.
