I got the comment that standard black pines are not suitable for shohin out of the book of Morten Albek though there some culitivars of pinus thunbergii are suitable for bonsai. I assumed that this is just a "standard black pine" that you have there - so if it is I would keep the advice of Morten Albek in mind. The needle size does reduce but according to him not enough to make it a good shohin.
Yea, when I read that it really confused me but I think your right that he meant certain varieties work and others dont.
