In just intonation, [[4:5:6]] and [[10:12:15]] are the canonical tunings for the major and minor triads. Major and minor triads may also be tuned to simple [[7-limit|septimal]] intervals, for example, to [[14:18:21]] and [[6:7:9]]. | In just intonation, [[4:5:6]] and [[10:12:15]] are the canonical tunings for the major and minor triads.

In diatonic scales, "major third" and "minor third" are precisely defined intervals corresponding to 81/64 and 32/27 in Pythagorean tuning, but generated by a tempered fifth. | In diatonic scales, "major third" and "minor third" are precisely defined intervals corresponding to [[81/64]] and [[32/27]] in [[Pythagorean tuning]], but generated by a tempered fifth. | ||
