A '''major third (M3)''', in the diatonic scale, is an interval that spans two scale steps in the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale with the major (wider) quality. It is generated by stacking 4 fifths [[Octave reduction|octave reduced]], and depending on the specific tuning, it ranges from 343 to 480 [[Cent|¢]] ([[7edo|2\7]] to [[5edo|2\5]]). In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a major third if it is reasonably mapped to 2\7 and [[24edo|8\24]] (precisely two steps of the
