It is a Kaplan Ball End Adapter for use on single hook style fine tuners. That's what it says on the product page here, anyway.
User /u/bazzage gave more input over at /r/violinist :
>With many ball-end strings, it is possible to pop out the ball, or crack it in pieces which may be picked out of the loop without |damaging it. That may not be possible with the special construction of the Kaplan wound E, so the adaptor becomes necessary.
Maybe mark this as solved /u/BestN00b
I've always had problems with whistling E strings, especially on certain passages where I wasn't able to change my bowing technique to prevent it. Last year there was a song I was playing regularly with a certain note that would *always* whistle when I crossed over from the A string, so I vowed to go on a hunt for an E string that prevented whistling.

I can thankfully say that I found it in this string, which has some sort of special connector which reduces whistling. It's been working flawlessly so far. :-)
