The shape and size of the bell, the material, the type and quality of tubing and its length, and the material and tension of the diaphragm all affect the sound sensitivity of a stethoscope.
Professionals with the greatest esperience tend to use the bell without a diphragm more, as they find with experience that varying the manual presure on the bell allows you to listen to frequencies across a spectrum.
Electronic stethoscopes are essentially amplified acoustic stethoscopes.

Price. The more expensive it is the more sensitive and detailed it is.
