neutral  Koen Speetjens (X): Windspel kan, zoals Desirée al zegt (en volgens jouw eigen referentie!!) ook andere dingen zijn die bewegen in de wind/lucht.

wind chimes
Windklokkenspel


Explanation:
Staat in de Van Dale. Maar ik vind het niet bepaald een mooi woord. Er komt geen klok bij kijken! 'Windspel' vind ik weer iets te vaag, daarbij heb je niet gelijk het beeld van die tingelende staafjes.
