If you're talking about SEVENTH CHORDS (4 note chords built from thirds) then the chord (in major keys) is HALF DIMINISHED SEVENTH
Only in minor keys does the true DIMINISHED SEVENTH chord appear as a chord built from scale notes.

Hi Fretsurce, I am talking about the 7th triad in a major key, which I see some make the 7th triad a diminshed 7th and some just dimished. Are you saying that only when teh key is a minor key that the 7th triad becomes a diminished 7th? I thought the 7th triad in a minor key was a Major chord?
