From my own experience as an amateur classical guitarist, the player definitely hears differences and feels them too. Playing is partly tactile and the overall experience of playing is different to listening. One's sense of the instrument does not come only from what one hears but one definitely hears differences.The player does not hear things as another person would. They're closer, and at a different angle to the soundboard. Instruments aren't perfect omnipolar sources, they have specific radiation patterns, and what the player hears is not going to be what the audience hears because of the difference in proximity to the sound source and that different listening angle. Also what the player hears is heavily weighted towards the direct sound because of their proximity. A listener elsewhere in the room/hall is going to hear a lot more of the room's contribution in what they hear. There will be less of that if you're close to the performer in a small room, but you still won't hear quite what the performer hears and vice versa.
