It's also normal that you will need to re-tune more frequently with new strings. They need to stretch out before they will stay in-tune, so at first they will go flat more quickly.

Don't worry, this is all normal. Let us know if you still have the issue after a week or two of playing.

Phew, Thanks for the information. I did think they would settle eventually, it was the fact that they sounded so “tinny” that threw me the chords I was playing just sounded awful
