A '''major second''' ('''M2'''), also called a '''whole tone''' or simply '''tone''', is an interval that spans one scale step in the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale with the major (wider) quality. It is generated by stacking 2 fifths [[octave reduction|octave reduced]], and depending on the specific tuning, it ranges from 171 to 240{{cent}} ([[7edo|1\7]] to [[5edo|1\5]]). It can be considered the large step of the diatonic scale.{{Infobox | A '''major second''' ('''M2'''), also called a '''whole tone''' or simply '''tone''', is an interval that spans one scale step in the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale with the major (wider) quality.
