A manuscript book.

I'm not sure what you mean. The signs used at the beginning of a stave to show the key are called 'the key signature'. When those signs occur on their own - one at a time - to change one note, they are 'accidentals'.

3. What do we call the little turning sticks ( around 4 on each side) on each side of the guitar handle which can tune the keys of the cord?
It depends on the guitar. If it is a flamenco guitar, they are 'pegs'. On most other guitars they are called 'machine-heads'.

4. What do we call the thin piece of hard stuff for protection one's fingers while playing guitar?
A 'pick' or 'plectrum'. Some guitarists use a pick attached to each finger: these are called 'finger-picks' - except, of course, for the thumb-pick.

Thank you

PS: These are the terms in Br Eng. In Am Eng there are differences in the names of notes (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Note_value ), and there may well be for other terms as well.

Hi Ju

As regards your specific questions, it's a long time since I played the piano, violin and viola at school, so you'll have to bear with me.

1. What do we call the above note-book? A manuscript book.

2. The notes are Breves, semi-breves, crochets, quavers, semi-quavers and either semi-demi(?) or demi-semi(?)-quavers. The notes of the musical "score" are arranged on the five-line "staff" or "stave". Piano music normally uses 2 sets of 5-lines - the upper one for the right hand (treble [G] clef) and the lower for the left hand (base [F] clef). Violas use the C clef.
See: Staff (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "staff" also indicates the key "signature" ("sharps & flats"), the number of "beats to the "bar" and (above it) the "tempo" at which it's played.

3. What do we call the little turning sticks ( around 4 on each side) on each side of the guitar handle which can tune the keys of the cord?
They are called tuning pegs on a violin - see:
Tuning pegs - encyclopedia article about Tuning pegs.
Violins/violas have 4 - guitars, I believe, normally have 6.
See: Guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

4. What do we call the thin piece of hard stuff for protection one's fingers while playing guitar?
It's called a plectrum or pick - see
plectrum - definition of plectrum by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
pick - definition of pick by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

One other useful reference is:
Glossary of musical terminology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PS In previewing, I've just noticed BobK's response which covers similar ground.

The handle is called 'headstock', here's something pleasant for the eye:

Where did this picture come from? I'm afraid, though pleasant, it is misleading. The person who labelled the machine-heads presumably played the violin (which, like a flamenco guitar - which this is not - has pegs for tuning). Also, like many works of reference, it calls the fret-wires 'frets'. The fret is the space between the fret wires. (But this is such a commonly made mistake that the distinction I've made is falling into desuetude.)

Finally, I'm surprised by the label 'Stop Bar Tailpiece'. It may be called a 'stop bar', but it's not a tailpiece (which, on a semi-acoustic guitar, tethers the strings to a button at the base of the body - see http://www.dv247.com/assets/products/44685_l.jpg ) ;-)
