Using needles for instrument springs was a "natural" adaptation back when. Finished needles are always nickel plated and if not properly baked to remove hydrogen embritlement can be more brittle than they should be. Left "blued" without plating there is no chance of H2 embrittlement. Black finish springs represent a lower quality spring compared to blued. The "feel" of needle type springs on instruments is largely controlled by their diameter.....and , of course, length. ( Having one end pointed is a clue to flatten the other end.....duh.)
Caution: When shortening be extremely careful....point the end to be cut into a trash can and wear glasses.
