There's an issue #14 for django-tagging filed back in 2007 which is trying to address this problem. Don't know whether developers are planning to add this feature or not.

However, there's a machinetags branch of django-tagging mantained by Gregor Müllegger here at https://code.launchpad.net/~gregor-muellegger/django-tagging/machinetags/. It allows to assign tags namespaces (and/or values), and facilitate querying tags by namespace / value. So you'd be able to tag a piece with instrument: or instrument=, for example.

It's mostly in sync with the django-tagging trunk (the latest commit is there's a number of commits missing though). I remember myself working on some project using that branch about a year ago; it worked fine. Read the documentation on branch and comments on the issue for more details.
