A '''major second''' ('''M2''') is an interval that spans one scale step in the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale with the major (wider) quality. It is generated by stacking 2 fifths [[octave reduction|octave reduced]], and depending on the specific tuning, it ranges from 171 to 240{{cent}} ([[7edo|1\7]] to [[5edo|1\5]]). It can be considered the large step of the diatonic scale.

In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a major second if it is reasonably mapped to one step of the diatonic scale and two steps of the chromatic scale.
