A '''neutral third (n3)''' is an interval that is near 350 [[cents]] in size, distinct from the [[minor third]] of roughly 300 [[Cent|cents]] and the [[major third]] of roughly 400 cents. A rough tuning range for the neutral third is 330 to 370 cents, as in Schulter's theory of [[Interval region|interval regions]]. | A '''neutral third (n3)''' is an interval that is near 350 [[cents]] in size, distinct from the [[minor third]] of roughly 300 [[Cent|cents]] and the [[major third]] of roughly 400 cents.

Two neutral thirds stack to a [[perfect fifth]], and as such the neutral third range is generally divided at roughly 350 cents into '''artoneutral''' (flat) and '''tendoneutral''' (sharp) thirds. As such, neutral thirds will often be provided in pairs. | |||
