-A major third (M3) is an interval close to 400 cents in size, distinct from the [[minor third]] of roughly 300{{c}} and the [[neutral third]] of roughly 350{{c}}. In the diatonic scale, it is the larger of the two "thirds" - intervals spanning 3 degrees or 2 scale steps. Another diatonic interval around the same size is the '''diminished fourth.'''
