If you read that before, you should have taken notes when reading "75
minute sessions" and "300-seat auditorium."

 
Note that there were TWO 75 minute sessions.  I know little about
string instruments, but I assume that they are much like playing a
piano, with which I'm more familiar.  I need about 5 minutes to become
accustomed to the keyboard and 10 additional minutes to "warm up"
which is mostly loosening the finger muscles.  However, playing the
remaining 60 minutes, in one sitting, seems rather excessive,
especially without intermission:

Besides an intermission, some time should be allocated for the
musician to tune his violin and apply the necessary rosin.
 
Do you have a link to the source of this test?  This seems to be your
source:
<https://www.science.org/content/article/elite-violinists-fail-distinguish-legendary-violins-modern-fiddles>
It's behind a paywall but is easily bypassed.  There doesn't seem to
be any new information on the testing details.  So, I go to the
source:
"Soloist evaluations of six Old Italian and six new violins"
<https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1323367111>
Same except in PDF format:
<https://www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1073/pnas.1323367111?download=true>
It will take me a while to find time to dig through that article. Also
see the Supporting Info at:
<https://www.pnas.org/action/downloadSupplement?doi=10.1073%2Fpnas.1323367111&file=pnas.201323367si.pdf>
Offhand and from skimming, it looks like they did the best that would
be done with the time and instrument limitations.
 
One interesting comment from the article:
"I played the Avery Fisher Stradivarius for 6 years," she says, "and
it took me 3 years just to get accustomed to it."

Well, it's important to consider that The Experts are never
wrong about cycling lane position or about separated paths
but they know nothing about musical instruments.
