In the diatonic scale, the '''major third''' is the major variant of the 2-diastep, or ''third.'' It is generated by stacking 4 [[Diatonic perfect fifth|diatonic perfect fifths]] and octave-reducing. It can be stacked with a [[diatonic minor third]] to form a perfect fifth, and as such is often involved in chord structures in diatonic harmony.

Being an abstract MOS degree, and not a specific interval, the diatonic major third doesn't have a fixed tuning, but instead has a range of ways it can be tuned, based on the tuning of the generator used in making the scale.

The tuning range of the diatonic major third ranges from 342.8 cents to 480 cents. Sharp of this, it becomes a [[minor 4-oneirostep]], and flat of this, it becomes a [[minor 2-pelstep]].

The diatonic major third is itself a type of [[diminished 2-pentstep]], and contains the categories of [[m-chromatic minor 4-step]] and [[p-chromatic major 4-step]], corresponding to the flat-of-basic and sharp-of-basic tunings of the major third respectively.
