no, you're supposed to get a whole range of Classes: Filter, Modulator,
Expander, Compressor,... and Instrument

http://lv2plug.in/ns/lv2core/ has the complete list.

#/bin/bash
for plugin in `lv2ls`; do
   printf "%-80s" "$plugin";
   lv2info "$plugin" \
   | grep Class: \
   | grep -v http \
   | awk '//{print $2}';
done \
| grep Instrument


here prints:

http://drobilla.net/plugins/mda/DX10                 Instrument
http://drobilla.net/plugins/mda/EPiano               Instrument
http://drobilla.net/plugins/mda/JX10                 Instrument
