Might work a little better (for a little while) since it's 'cut' via a laser, not friction or gouging - the surface would be relatively smooth in comparison since it's burning the material.

I'm not convinced. The edges of laser-cut plywood are not smooth, they still have a rough grainy texture to them, and they're also covered in soot which is probably not conducive to music playback.

I'm really interested in hearing what this sounds like, but I don't expect much.

If I were going to do something like this, I would probably make the wood as flat as possible and then put a high-quality coat of epoxy or some other harder material on top of it and carve the music into that material instead of the wood.
