A '''major third (M3),''' as an [[interval region]], is typically near 400{{c}} in size, distinct from the [[minor third]] of roughly 300{{c}} and the [[neutral third]] of roughly 350{{c}}. A rough tuning range for the major third is about 370 to 440{{c}} according to [[Margo Schulter]]'s theory of interval regions. ''Major third'' in this sense refers both to the ~350–450{{c}} range as a whole, and to a specific subdivision within it (~370–415{{c}}) as opposed to supermajor thirds; major thirds sharp of this are often called "supermajor thirds". | A '''major third (M3),''' as an [[interval region]], is typically near 400{{c}} in size, distinct from the [[minor third]] of roughly 300{{c}} and the [[neutral third]] of roughly 350{{c}}.
